BTV: RD 4 | Guelfi's debutMidfielder Matt Guelfi enjoyed a great win against the Power in his first AFL match. We spoke to Matt's father, as well as the debutant himself.

While inevitably there would be nerves for Matt Guelfi as he entered his debut on Sunday, there was never any doubt from the Guelfi family that he was ready for AFL football.

Coming off two years playing senior football in the WAFL, the 20-year-old said his experience put him in good stead for an impressive debut.

“I was a bit nervous to start, but once I was out there and the game got rolling it was really exciting and I felt comfortable out there,” Guelfi said after Essendon’s strong 22-point victory over Port Adelaide.
